Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and chopped
- Optional: a pinch of nutmeg or allspice for extra spice
Instructions
- Start by peeling and chopping the fresh peaches into small, bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and optional spices.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add melted butter, sour cream, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth. Gradually add the sugar, beating continuously until well combined.
- Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined. Carefully fold in the chopped peaches.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray. Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use ripe peaches for maximum flavor and juiciness.
- Do not overmix the batter; gentle folding preserves moisture and tenderness.
- Adding a dash of nutmeg enhances the warm spice profile.
- For a sweeter touch, sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top before baking.
